This document describes an automatic trolley system for material handling in industries. It discusses how material handling equipment is used to move, store, control, and protect materials throughout the manufacturing and distribution process. It then introduces an automatic trolley project that uses electric motors and a power transmission system to carry and drop off materials on rough surfaces. The trolley is controlled by a control unit and uses path finding sensors. Its advantages are listed as accurate positioning, reduced lead times, elimination of manual work, and efficiency. Its only disadvantage is higher maintenance costs and potential electronic failures.

AUTOMATIC TROLLEY FOR MATERIAL HANDLING
SYSTEM IN INDUSTRY
SYNOPSIS
Material handling equipment is all equipment that relates
to the movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and
products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption
and disposal. Material handling equipment is the mechanical equipment
involved in the complete system. Material handling equipment is generally
separated into four main categories: storage and handling equipment,
engineered systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling.
Over the last decade our world has changed dramatically due to the
growing phenomenon of globalization and revolution in automation there is
tremendous demand on companies to improve the quality and provide
reliable delivery dates through effective and efficient coordination of
production and distribution activities.
Robotics has emerged as an enabling technology. An industrial robot
is a reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed to move
materials, parts, tools or special devices through variable programmed
motion and performance of variety tasks. A robot recognizes the need for
company to conserve resources while adding value to the product.

2. In this project we have been used electric motors and
structure, power transmission system for material handling purpose.This
trolley can be implanted on rough surface to carry material and drop at a
specific area.
